    Sky B-day

    This weekend looks better, but I don't think I'll be able to join you guys. Got a little too much work to do on the homefront. But next weekend, I'll be there Friday night with 12 pounds of lobster, so bring rolls and salad

    Sky B-day

    I'm 3 years old today, with 250 jumps under my belt. Yee-Freakin-Haw. It would be nicer if I could go jumping, but instead it's been snowing non-stop for the past 4 days. I got nuthin

    I owe Beer!!

    Anytime, Anywhere...Although you might have to push I got nuthin
  5. 0:0:1 First Car, shitty weather I believe it clearly states in the Beer Rules that only one case is owed for multiple firsts that occur on one skydive. Although I'm sure nobody would object to you buying two I got nuthin
  6. You mean you're not broke yet??? You're not a real skydiver if you have money in your bank account Just kidding man, I did less jumps than you have in my first 5 months. Congrats and welcome!!! I got nuthin

    I owe Beer!!

    For my very first car!!! Sad really, I make pretty good coin but I'm cruisin in an 88 Chevy Sprint. My rig and that trip to Eloy were more important that arriving in style. At least I won't be hitch-hikin to the DZ anymore I got nuthin
  8. I've done 4 night jumps. The first 2 the landing area was lit up...It didn't matter to me, I was waaaaaaaaay out, but under the full moon it wasn't a problem. My 3rd it was real dark, no moon, no landing lights, no flare. There were concussions and cat-scans though. My last one was at Eloy, 3 cars facing the landing area, and many of us landed long (we were down-winding to avoid moon shadows) I was out of the cars' range and had no issues landing. I got nuthin
  9. Next time on 'This old DZ' we'll show you how to build a wind sock out of duct tape Seriously, nice thinkin indyz. I got nuthin
  10. I bought a used Tony Suit with double competition grips. They can be a pain in the ass on the ground. The grips are so big I can't tie my sleeves around my waist on a hot day, I'm either wearing it all or not wearing it at all. Never had any complaints of people getting confused in the air, but we ain't doing any crazy shit either. I got nuthin
  11. I don't really know a helluva lot, and I'm not a rigger or anything, but may I suggest doing some searches on 'TSO', both here and on a search engine; google, excite. Good luck I got nuthin
  12. Blame us for what. We're watching 300-way while you've got your thumb up your ass I got nuthin
  13. I dunno. It was about a 15 minute chunk of the show. Pretty cool. Maybe Discovery Canada is different. Sorry eh I got nuthin
  14. It's on RIGHT NOW!!!!!! I got nuthin
  15. Okay, I saw the ad for Daily Planet, saw the 300-way in FF as they described 300 people jumping from planes. After Chris's reply I checked Discovery's website and I can't find it. But I - did - see the ad. I got nuthin
  16. On discovery channel, there was an ad for it tonight being on later tonight I got nuthin
  17. Okay, who here has put a cat in a shoebox and exhaled the doobie into a little hole??? Come on, admit it I got nuthin
  18. Tonight, Discovery Channel, Daily planet. 300 way I got nuthin
  19. Cool, I posted to this thread with 92 jumps and no cutaways, that was just over a year ago. Now I have 235 jumps one cutaway and one very close call. The close call was a h-n-p out of a C-182. Jump, dump, then I felt the snatch force but no canopy. Looked up at a bag lock over my head, and the D-bag was spinning. I went for my handles, then looked at my alti and saw I was at 2500. Shook the shit out of the risers and eventually got canopy, with line twists from hell. First actual chop was #208. Break off from a 3-way, dump and had tension knots on the left hand side. Tried to shake them out, started turning right so decided to get rid of it. In retrospect, if I'd untowed the brakes that might've fixed it, but that thought didn't even cross my mind at the time. I got nuthin
  20. I'm probably younger than many on here, but when I was little I watched Ninja Turtles religiously. I remember Astroboy from when I was real little, that was some quality programming I tell you what I got nuthin
  21. And then I'd like a....Wait a minute, NO AND THEN!!!!! I got nuthin
  22. NO AND THEN!!!!!!! I got nuthin
  23. When I was in AZ a few months back Mike shot some pics on a few of our jumps. It was so amazing: I'd catch him out of the corner of my eye, behind and below me, and by the time we built the next point he's above us on the other side of the formation. And we weren't - that - slow building the next point. He also seemed like a super nice guy. I ordered some of his pics in 8x10, and he gave me a couple 11x14 for free, and the pics were awsome. Even my mother liked them, and she's against skydiving with every fibre of her being I got nuthin

    Pisa??

    Any idea how this is going to affect operations? Same company with a new name, or are they making any substantial changes? I'm thinking of going PISA (or Aerodyne, as the case may be) for my next main. Personally though, I'd never buy a tempo. I'd like a PD for my last chance, and I like the way my PDR flies. I got nuthin
  25. I had a tear about 1.5" long on one of my crossports. My rigger put a patch accross it after contacting PD. When I was teaching packing at my old DZ I thought it was fun as hell to fish out a crossport and ask the newbie how the hell this big F*#in hole got there I got nuthin
